You know now,just dat 20naira is okay for dem,dey dont care what goes next.
The other day while travelling from Yenagoa to Delta state,i had a t.v in the car boot,when i got to their checkpoints.they ordered to see what in the carton.
When dey noticed it was a t.v,dey said where is the receipt,i brought it out a gave it to dem..suprisingly,dey asked for the serial number,which was also written on the receipt.
All dey just want from me was just 100naira,instead i showed dem de serial number..dey got angry at me for not even giving dem a dime..to de extent of policewomen taking bribes as well.
God will help us .

tpacalipse: What is the difference between armed robbers and police men.
if arm robbers catch you and you cooperate, they will only collect your money and spare your life,
while the police will surely kill you and make away with the money whether you cooperate or not.

I was hoping I would see what will reduce the time I spend at the check points bt up till now this thread has only served to relieve the ASUU stress.

I wish someone here knows exactly what those men should be doing at the check points so that I will have legal backing to insult them and put them in their place when they try to intimidate me.

Re: What Is The Role Of Policemen At Check Point by Ekesonbaba: 3:12pm On Oct 16, 2013
ifenadi: Just wondering the role of police officers at various check points along Nigerian roads.Apart from police we have other force men along the roads and thief role are very clear to me:

CUSTOM OFFICERS
They will ask you of your custom papers only. Once they are satisfied with the documentation they will let you go

ROAD SAFETY
They are simply interested if you are wearing your seat belt and that you are not over speeding, over loaded or driving dangerously.If they stopped you, they will simply check if you have a valid drivers license, if you have good spare tyre, fire extinguisher and caution signs. They might go further to check if your travel gator and break lights are working properly.

SOLDIER(MILITARY MEN)
If they stop you, they will just check if you there so many male occupant in the vehicle. If that is the case, they will ask everybody to come down while they search each person for any incriminating items or arms. They might go further to search the vehicle buts, pigeon hole, under the seats and so on.

AGBERO
You will see these guys mainly in commercial cities. They are just after public vehicles. Once they stopped you, they will check if you have purchased their tickets and once you are cleared you are good to go.

POLICE.
They perform virtually all the role explained above and that is what I don't seem to understand. A police officer will stop you, search your buts, search all the occupant of the vehicle, search the pigeon hole. Request for your drivers license, your vehicle particulars and some cases custom papers. Ask you to open your bonnet, check your engine and engine number, check your chassis number for correctness. Check if you have fire extinguisher and have a spare tyre. If you are not on seat belt, you will be booked too. And so on and so on. You can add yours
Re: What Is The Role Of Policemen At Check Point by Btruth: 3:40pm On Oct 16, 2013
I think the only different from the listed above is their uniforms. They are all doing the same thing.

- the Police
- the Army
- the FRSC
- the Custom
- the Immigration
- the VIO
- the OP Messa
- the RRS
- the Armed Robbers
- the Senators
- the House of Assembly
- the FAAN
- the ASSU
- the SSS
- the EFCC
- the INEC
- the CBN
- the NRC
- the NBA
- the NNPC
- the NCC
- the PHCN
- the etc, etc, etc

All of them have the same syndrome & mentality, but different uniforms.

bola4dprec: Going by the record of Nigeria Police Force all the duty/duties slated above were ordinarily police duties before establishment of major para-military bodies, that is why anywhere you go you see police even in border take for example The NPF performed conventional police
functions and was responsible for
internal security generally; for
supporting the prison, immigration, and
customs services; and for performing
military duties within or outside Nigeria
as directed. Plans were announced in
mid-1980 to expand the force to
200,000. By 1983, according to the
federal budget, the strength of the NPF
was almost 152,000, but other sources
estimated it to be between 20,000 and
80,000. Reportedly, there were more
than 1,300 police stations nationwide.
Police officers were not usually armed
but were issued weapons when required
for specific missions or circumstances.
They were often deployed throughout
the country, but in 1989 Babangida
announced that a larger number of
officers would be posted to their native
areas to facilitate police- community
relations. Rate of corruption in the force make them inferior otherwise they suppose to be respected by everyone in nutshell police is the father of other forces and para-military I pray may God reform them, to have a better nation police is charge with multi-duty even EFCC is a branch controlled by police
They were empowered to investigate and prosecute while judiciary to adjudicate
U re d only fellow in whose comment i see intelligence.there is no country in the world that has a police force that is completely free frm corruption,but we exaggerate ours and minimise others. And we also 4get that we nigerians are naturally corrupt and we ll probably do worse if given the chance. I hate wen one is deliberately targetted. I ve seen the nigeria army collect money in road blocks. Customs are probably worse. Even the navy do bunkery. The judiciary collect money from criminals that even the police refused to touch. Police are bad but the politicians are even worse. This post is just childish.
